When describing the new species Unixenus corringlensis Short & Huynh, sp. n., the latitude given for the single collecting event of this species in Corringle state forest is incorrect and should be 33°40'00"S not 33°22'12"S.

The correct wording in the species description for the holotype, a male paratype and two specimens included as other material is as follows:

Holotype. Female, Corringle State Forest, NSW, 33°40'00"S, 147°15'00"E (±1 km) (incorrectly recorded on label and in AM database as 33°22'12"S, 147°15'00"E, new latitude estimated with google earth), 21–26March 1996, collected by D. Smith, AM KS.119541. Specimen mounted on slides, deposited in AM.

Paratypes. 1 male, same collection as holotype, AM KS.119540.

Other material. 2 immature specimens, (sex and stadia not determined), same collection as holotype, AM KS.53604, preserved in ethanol.

The Table of localities included as an appendix also requires the same correction. Portion of the table is shown below with corrections highlighted in yellow.
